Chapter 266 Defects

After a discussion, the school ground gradually became quiet. The envoys from various countries all looked complicated, and some timid envoys were even dissatisfied.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "This thing made by Su Cheng is pretty good. What do you think?"

Su Cheng was speechless and heard it sounded very well. This makeup was really fresh and refined.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that the cannons made by Ankang County are like thunder, and it is very refreshing to hear it."

The envoys were speechless when they heard this. What does it mean to be good to listen to the sound?

Such a powerful weapon is simply a powerful tool for harvesting on the battlefield. Is that used to hear sounds?

This is simply a naked show-off!

"This is a magic weapon, God blesses the Tang Dynasty, God blesses the Khan!" The envoys flattered insincerely.

Li Shimin turned to look at the Tubo envoy and asked with a smile: "Is it a Tubo envoy?"

Although Lu Dongzan and others have been in Chang'an for two days, they have been receiving it all the time for the Sifang Pavilion and the Ministry of Rites, and they have not had time to meet the emperor.

Lu Dongzan bowed slightly and said, "The foreign minister, Lu Dongzan, was ordered by Zanpu to go to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Lu Dongzan, how do you see my cannon?"

Lu Dongzan praised: "Foreign ministers know that bombs are already powerful weapons. Since entering Chang'an, they have heard that cannons are ten times more powerful than bombs. I saw them today and found that they are indeed well-known."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Bomb? I heard that you Tubo suffered a great loss in the bomb!"

Lu Dongzan bowed and said, "Zanpu was provoked by villains and sent troops to offend the Tang Dynasty in a moment of confusion. My Tubo warriors did suffer a great loss from bombs. However, it was not that my warriors were not as brave as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

The Tubo warriors behind Lu Dongzan immediately raised their chests and looked up. They were obviously not convinced by the defeat to the Tang Dynasty, but their faces were still pale, and they could not help but lose a bit of toughness.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Just talking about the elite bravery, my Tang soldiers will never look at the Tubo people."

Cheng Yaojin shouted: "Your Majesty is saying that I, the elites of the Tang Dynasty, are afraid of anyone? With your order, I can defeat Tubo without a bomb!"

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't use a firearm, the outcome will be unpredictable!"

Many generals such as Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin suddenly jumped up. What is the outcome unpredictable? Without firearms before, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty never lost their battles in the south and north!

Even if there are no firearms, you can still fight you, the Tubo army is defeated and searching for teeth.

If the inspiring Tang army did not use firearms and had a dignified battle, Tubo would never lose to the Tang Dynasty again. After thinking about this, a trace of inexplicable spirit flashed in Lu Dongzan's eyes.

Li Shimin said angrily: "My Tang Dynasty has thousands of powerful generals and hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. Whether there are firearms or not, my soldiers can defend their country! However, since there are bombs and cannons, this is the favor of heaven. Why don't I let my soldiers suffer casualties instead?"

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty said that they are all good men of my Tang Dynasty. Although they are brave enough to die on the battlefield, it is a pity!"

Lu Dongzan didn't look much disappointed when he heard this. If the Emperor and General of the Tang Dynasty were so easily trapped, it would be no longer worth worrying.

"I see that you Tubo seems to be injustice. When you go back, you can rectify your troops and fight again. I will welcome you with cannons!" Li Shimin said proudly.

The envoys from other countries all seemed lively. They wanted the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to fight again, and it would be better to fight both sides.

Lu Dongzan bowed and said, "Actually, I, Tubo, have no disrespect for the Tang Dynasty. This time, the foreign minister went to the Tang Dynasty under the order of Zanpu to make the best of both countries!"

"The foreign minister just watched the cannon test, which was also amazing. This weapon can be regarded as a killer weapon on the battlefield. However, when the foreign minister looked at it roughly, he also found that there were many defects."

When the envoys from all countries heard this, they all raised their ears. They were all stunned by the roar of cannons, but they did not think about the defects of the cannon.

This is very important to everyone, and even the ministers of the Tang Dynasty became serious.

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "Oh, let's talk!"

Lu Dongzan pondered: "Such a huge creature is of great power, but it is probably not easy to cast it. Even if the Tang Dynasty has a large area and a wealth of things, it may be difficult to be equipped in the army within a few years."

Li Shimin laughed and said nothing, but he also felt that this was a problem, and casting cannons was indeed not easy.

Su Cheng just laughed but said nothing. You didn't know what flowing water operation is. He just felt that the cannon had not been formally established yet. When it was formally established, the flowing water operation could be carried out. The speed of casting the cannon could be greatly improved and it could also play a role in keeping the secret.

Lu Dongzan continued: "And the cannons are huge, so heavy, it is not convenient to move. Sichuan and Shu are mountains and the Shu road is difficult to move. How can such a giant go on the Shu road into Sichuan? Even if it enters Sichuan, it is difficult to enter the battlefield."

The envoys from various countries could not help but nodded after hearing this. The envoys of Tubo came to their point. The cannons suddenly had great power, but they were not easy to cast and were inconvenient to move.

Li Shimin looked at the Tubo envoy with some surprise, and was very appreciative. Before the shock of the court officials and these envoys had dissipated, the Tubo envoy not only calmed down, but also thought of the shortcomings of the cannon.

Agility and intelligence are the best choices. Unexpectedly, Tubo has such a virtuous minister. No wonder Tubo has increased its strength in recent years and dared to brazenly provoke the Tang Dynasty.

Whether Li Shimin or the important officials in the court heard the Tubo envoys say these shortcomings, they did not change color because they had already summarized these shortcomings.

Artillery does have shortcomings, but this cannot erase the powerful power of artillery.

Nothing in this world is perfect, how to use it depends on one's heart.

Su Cheng spread his hands and smiled, "Your Majesty, I'm just saying that this broken thing has such a big flaw, and you have to continue to improve it before you can put it into practice."

After hearing this, the envoys were shocked and improved?

Can the Tang Dynasty continue to improve artillery?

If these defects of artillery can be really improved, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably make rapid progress again!

Their eyes when they looked at Su Cheng were filled with complex expressions. Is this Su Cheng, the Duke of Ankang County?

It was the Eastern Turkic people who created bombs on the grassland that were separated and finally destroyed. Unexpectedly, Su Cheng actually created a magic weapon like cannon!

In the opinion, Su Cheng alone is almost a hundred thousand troops!

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but feel shocked. Although he listed the shortcomings of cannons, he also understood that once the Tang Dynasty installed cannons on the city wall, the city of Tang would be as solid as a god.
